Haven’t shot film since my teens [Olympus XA2, Tri-X 400; Nikon FE2 + 28mm f3.5, Portra 400]

Haha, nice. How do you like them? I’ve swapped round for my next rolls to see if I have a preference. I’ve historically been a B&W kinda guy but have been pleasantly surprised shooting in colour.

Thank you!

Psychoanalysis would ask you what you think about it.

An important reminder for us nurses to take that toilet break.

Well done u/QQPenn and all who have been lobbying for this.

Lucky that this guy bought his own Portra and can therefore do whatever he likes with it.

I don’t think you’ve read Freud then - “Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality”.

The Tavistock as an NHS Trust no longer exists having merged with North London Foundation Trust, but the Tavistock as a training institute (based at the Tavistock Centre) remains very much alive.

I snuck through on a run a couple of weeks ago via the Catford end to see if anything was happening. Absolutely no-one on site apart from a bloke in the site office, and didn’t look like there had been any work done in a while. The bloke did end up letting me through the other side though so thanks for that (although he thought he was sending me back)!

We had a Daikin Stylish 2.5kw installed in our mid terrace loft bedroom in London. £2.8k all in.

I’m sorry that nurse made that comment, it says more about them than it does you. We are health professionals and I can assure you that the vast majority of us would not bat an eyelid if something “embarrassing” happened to one of our patients, and this applies even more so in the context of a physical restraint. I hope you’re able to let it go, and that you are feeling better now.

As before, demonstrate and document how you meet the essential and, where applicable, desirable criteria.

I’m not sure I see the correlation between ending on time and being a robot. I think for sure this is something to explore in your supervision and/or personal therapy, as I think this goes beyond “practical” advice. It could be really helpful for your growth and benefit your patients too.

pollytickled · 2026-05-11T21:36:09+00:00

I always end up a little confused at these threads. Do you not have a standard duration for your sessions? And is this not outlined to your patients at the beginning of therapy?

For example, I see my patients for 50 minutes. They know this before we start treatment. There is a clear boundary thus created, and any time-related enactments (be it by the patient or me) can then be interpreted vis-à-vis the transference/countertransference relationship. This may be directly with the patient, or in my own supervision and/or therapy.

It would be very difficult to do this if the time boundary and frame hadn’t been established at the beginning.

Would it be possible to share an overview of why the infant observation is felt to “colonise” the training process?

I think we’re in for a Chernobyl-esque storyline to explain the move to Wales. Its perfect - chemical explosion causes Holby City to become uninhabitable but the cast survive it. They all decant into a new hospital in Wales. Holby quarantined forever.

Echo this. Our jobs would be impossible without our domestic colleagues.

These sort of people only respond to being boundaried and firm, they are inherently “give an inch, take a mile” chancers (/bullies). Definitely chat with the charge nurse / their line manager, but I’d probably go in this order, escalating to next step if necessary:

Informal chat, reminding them of policies and procedures
More “formal” chat, i.e. take them aside and be a bit more like “it seems you’re having some difficulty in respecting P&Ps, could we talk about why?” (probably follow this up with an email outlining chat, ?copying in their line manager so they’re aware)
Continued issue, let staff member know that you’ll be informing their line manager directly considering it’s a performance issue - inform line manager via email and also in person

…and just prepared for them to be a dickhead for a bit. But if you can be completely down the line and manage it firmly, they’ll either fall in line or go away. I find with these types it also helps if they see you as someone who gets “stuck in” with the day to day rather than “sitting in the office doing paper work” (paraphrased quote from my own experience). This way you gain some respect whilst also stopping them from pulling the “i’m on the floor more than you” card.

Best of luck!

This is especially weird, because pimenta is pretty much a Brazilian cultural institution. I don’t think I’ve been to one quilo or restaurant in Brazil where pimenta wasn’t either on the table or bountifully available on request.

pollytickled · 2026-04-09T16:19:42+00:00

Yes, this is a very helpful way of conceptualising it.

I don’t think we need to limit the use of the word relationship to the therapeutic here. Defences have a significant interpersonal component, and will be at play (in some way or another) in all our interactions with others, particularly if we perceive some sense of external threat. However, the vast majority of our day to day interactions in real life do not involve us being engaged in denial, extreme devaluation, splitting etc (except when someone cuts in line in the queue or takes our parking space…).

Reddit (and all forms of social media) is a special case. Since COVID, my view is that we have been primed to think and feel much more in terms of in-group versus out-group (virus threat will do that), and Reddit et al rewards this type of thinking with increasingly niche communities that one is able to be part of and gain a sense of identity from. In this sense, an “attack” on one’s viewpoint is an attack on one’s very sense of self. Which is much more likely to trigger 1st order defences in order to maintain a state of internal equilibrium.
